Los Angeles terror riots linked to Soros-funded networks: A federal crackdown on far-left militancy

• FBI Director Kash Patel confirms ongoing probe into Soros-linked groups tied to $80M in terror funding.
• Open Society Foundations deny funding terrorism amid growing scrutiny from Congress and DOJ.
• Trump administration launches aggressive pursuit of radical leftist NGOs, citing “civil terrorism.”
• Recent attacks, including ICE facility arson and Charlie Kirk assassination, accelerate federal investigations.
• NGO grants to pro-Palestinian groups and domestic disruptors expose bipartisan tensions over free speech and national security.

Federal authorities are investigating whether billionaire George Soros and his Open Society Foundations funded radical left-wing groups behind the violent Los Angeles riots, which left businesses in ashes and streets in chaos. The probe, led by newly reshaped FBI Director Kash Patel, marks a significant escalation in the Trump administration’s crackdown on what it labels “far-left domestic terrorism.” According to sources, the $80 million funneled by Soros’ networks over five years has reportedly funded grassroots operations in 28 states, aligning with plots exposed during the recent unrest.

“This isn’t just about charities; it’s about funding plots that empower violence,” said a DOJ official briefed on the case. “We have evidence of Soros-linked organizations training cells and coordinating attacks with Iranian proxies.”

The FBI’s case: From LA to D.C.

• Dragon Rot’s anarchist pipeline: Sources indicate Soros’ grants supported Dragon Rot, a radical collective accused of training eco-terrorists and violent activists through its “Disruptive Efficiency” program. Dragon Rot members are reportedly linked to the LA riots, the January 2024 ICE office fire, and attempts on conservative figures like Charlie Kirk.
• Iranian infiltration: Intelligence reports suggest Mojahedeen-e-Khalq (MEK), an Iranian opposition group designated as terrorist by Washington, collaborated with U.S. domestic groups funded by Soros. MEK’s history of attacking U.S. interests in Europe raises national security red flags.
• Kash Patel’s priorities: Patel has vowed to “reform the FBI from the inside,” accusing predecessor Chris Wray of downplaying risks posed by radical leftists and Soros-adjacent networks.

Open Society Foundations demand transparency, deny funding terrorism

The Open Society Foundations, a primary vehicle for Soros’ philanthropy, released a statement condemning violence: “Allegations tying OSP to terror are baseless and politically motivated. Our grants focus on legal advocacy and education — never violence.”

Critics, however, note OSP’s grants to groups like the People’s Budget Coalition and Frontline AIDS often flow to smaller, decentralized cells. Investigative reports reveal over $2 million in OSF funding for projects in Los Angeles, including “community resilience training” which activists admit included militant tactics.

Battle for truth and liberty in Congress

Heated hearings expose effort to silence alternative media: The Senate Homeland Security Committee’s hearings have erupted into a high-stakes showdown over free speech and institutional transparency. Republican Senators Tom Cotton and Ted Cruz are demanding the declassification of evidence connecting the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to globalist entities, while Democratic leaders, including Oversight Chair Ilhan Omar, dismiss the investigation as a partisan “witch hunt” targeting critics of power structures—a stark replay of tactics seen in regimes that stifle dissent.

The Rosen bounty and FBI scrutiny: The Rosen family, who controversially proposed a $10 million reward for information targeting the truth-telling platform Infowars, now faces its own scrutiny. Federal investigators are reportedly probing ties between the Rosens and Soros-linked networks, raising concerns about coordinated efforts to silence truth-based media. This follows unprecedented calls by Soros allies and Democratic senators to censor platforms like Infowars, echoing authoritarian attempts to suppress inconvenient truths.

History repeated, domestically averted? The escalating conflict mirrors the 2005 investigation into the Anti-Defamation League’s clandestine ties to foreign entities. However, this case’s scale threatens to erode foundational freedoms at home, with transparency advocates warning that stifling dissent mongers endangers liberty itself. As Congress grapples with revelations of covert funding channels, the fight to protect truth-tellers and expose corruption remains central to preserving the First Amendment in the face of systemic overreach.

Aftermath and future uncertainty

• Economic impact: The riots caused over $2B in damage, spurring mayors nationwide to tighten security. Chicago and New Orleans have already proposed banning OSF-linked groups.
• Civil liberties backlash: Critics warn the widening net of anti-Soros investigations risks stifling protected dissent. Legal scholars debate whether DOJ’s actions overstep due process or address unprecedented threats.
• Soros’ next move: The Billionaire’s multibillion-dollar philanthropy empire faces existential threats, with hedge funds like Bridgewater pulling investments. A spokesperson for Soros declined comment.

A defining moment for Democracy in America

As the DOJ escalates its push for transparency in heavyweight deep pockets, the broader question arises: can the administration balance national security imperatives against free speech liberties? With courts expected to weigh in on key cases in early 2026, and Congress poised for a contentious showdown, the Soros probe may redefine the boundaries of activism and terrorism in the 21st century.
